TL*THE CONTACT OWNED A 2001 CHEVROLET BLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR PUMP FILLED WITH WATER AND FROZE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP WHERE THE AIR PUMP WAS REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 40,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 60,000.

MY 2001 CHEVY BLAZER STOP LIGHTS ARE NOT OPERABLE DUE TO A KNOWN GM RECALL 08V231000 HOWEVER THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO FIX THIS WITHOUT ME PAYING UP FRONT. LOSS OF THE BRAKE LIGHTS AND TURN SIGNALS HAVE MADE MY VEHICLE INOPERABLE. THERE IS A SHORT IN THE SWITCH THAT CAUSE SMOKE TO COME FROM THE STEERING COLUMN AS WELL. *TR

ABS AND BRAKEHEN THE ABS LIGHTS COME ON AND THEN THE ABS WILL NOT WORK. WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIES AT LOW SPEEDS THEY WILL SHAKE AND THEN CAUSE THE LIGHTS TO COME ON. *TR

REAR TIRE BLEW OUT WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. SERVICEMAN SAID NO SIGN OF A PUNCTURE. *TR

2001 CHEVROLET BLAZER: BRAKE LIGHTS STAYED ON WHILE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND OFF. HAZARD LIGHTS DID NOT WORK. TURN SIGNALS DID NOT WORK. ENGINE RAN WHILE IGNITION WAS OFF. NOTICEABLE AMOUNT OF SMOKE CAME FROM STEERING COLUMN. THERE WAS A RECALL (01V364) FOR A FAULTY MULTI FUNCTION SWITCH, DEALER SAID THEY PERFORMED IT ALREADY. DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED PROBLEM AND SAID THE SAME MULTI FUNCTION SWITCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. *TR

I HAVE A 2001 CHEVY BLAZER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON ALL THE TIME NOW I KNOW IT IS THE INJECTION SYSTEM FROM WHAT I HAVE FOUND CHEVY KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND DOES NOTHING THE BLAZER RUNS BAD AND EMISSIONS ARE BAD THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR SOME TIME NOW. *TR

AFTER FINDING OUT MY 2001 CHEVY BLAZER HAD NO BRAKE LIGHTS THE SECOND TIME SINCE NEW, THIS FIRST WENT OUT & WAS REPLACED BY AVENUE CHEVY, BATAVIA ON 11/7/2001 W/ ONLY14,790 MILES . AND NOT IMAGINING THE PROBLEM COULD BE THE EXPENSIVE ENTIRE TURN SIGNAL UNIT AGAIN, I ASKED AROUND, EVEN GUYS AT AVENUE CHEVY, BATAVIA, ILL. I PURCHASED A BRAKE SWITCH PART # 15128745 ON 3/4/08 FOR $14.09 & REPLACED NY UNIT BUT THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I WENT BACK TO AVENUE CHEVY AND ON 3/11/08 THEY REPLACED PART # 26100937 MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH FOR A TOTAL OF $442.79 ! ! ! *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD COMING UP TO A STOP SIGN WHEN MY ABS SYSTEM KICKED ON AND COULDN'T STOP. NOW MY ABS LIGHT STAYS ON.. I HAVE WENT THROUGH MY SAVINGS ACCOUNT TRYING TO GET THE PROBLEM FIXED AND STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. I THINK THIS IS MORE OF A MANUFACTURE DEFECT AND ITS GOING TO GET SOMEONE HURT OR KILLED. *TR

MY VEHICLE HAS THE EXACT SYMPTOMS OF A KNOW SAFETY DEFECT THAT BUT CHEVROLET TELLS ME THAT BECAUSE OF THE VIN NUMBER OF MY VEHICLE IT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE RECALL IS: NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 08V231000 RQ08001 NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: RQ08001 COMPONENT: EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS:SWITCH POTENTIAL NUMBER OF UNITS AFFECTED: 5862 SUMMARY: GENERAL MOTORS IS RECALLING 5,862 MY 2000-2002 CHEVROLET BLAZER, MY 2000-2001 GMC JIMMY, AND MY 2000 OLDSMOBILE BRAVADA SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES. THE MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH COULD DEVELOP AN OPEN CIRCUIT CONDITION THAT RESULTS IN THE STOP LAMPS AND THE REAR HAZARD LAMPS BECOMING INOPERATIVE. THE CENTER HIGH MOUNTED STOP LAMP AND TURN SIGNAL FUNCTIONS ARE NOT AFFECTED. THERE ARE MORE VEHICLES OUT THERE THAT GM NEEDS TO IDENTIFY FOR THIS RECALL. *TR

BRAKE LIGHTS FAIL TO ILLUMINATE, HAZARD FLASHER INTERMITTENTLY WORKS, TOP CENTER BRAKE LIGHT WORKS AS IT SHOULD. REPLACED THE FLASHER UNIT TO NO AVAIL. DETERMINED TO BE A DEFECTIVE TURN SIGNAL-MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH. RESEARCHED THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS AND SAW THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT ACCORDING TO THE DEALER MY VEHICLE DOES NOT FIT IT TO THE RECALL. I SEE THAT THERE ARE MANY MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. IT SEEMS THAT THIS RECALL DID NOT INCLUDE MANY OF THE EFFECTED VEHICLES. *TR
